The Dandelion Patch is a JamPacks Drop Off Location

The Dandelion Patch is pleased to be a receiving site for the Junior League of Northern Virginia's JamPacks Program.

Now in its 15th year, JamPacks helps hundreds of disadvantaged children in our area by providing backpacks loaded with needed school supplies so kids are ready for academic success.

Our customers are invited to bring in school supplies of all kinds to The Dandelion Patch this month and deposit them in the labeled JamPacks box in the store. We'll make sure they get to the right place for distribution!

This simple act can mean so much to so many. Thank you for giving to our community!

Junior League of Northern Virginia



Greetings!

June is the start of the summer celebration season, and we at The Dandelion Patch are doing a little celebrating of our own. June 4 marks our 13th anniversary, and we'll be serving a bit of bubbly in the store to honor the occasion! Come join us in raising a toast on Sunday, June 4 from 12-5.

Our hours are Monday- Friday 10-6, Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 12-5. We're conveniently located behind Vienna Presbyterian Church at 211 Mill Street NE, Vienna, Virginia.


  • Celebrate Our Independence!
  • Looking for something beyond the typical July 4th party & BBQ? While we may be enjoying summer's heat with cool lemonade and burgers on the grill, let us not forget the service men and women who are making America proud as they stand in harm's way.

    We at the Dandelion Patch have an idea to make your Independence Day celebration one for your family and friends to remember for years to come. Consider asking guests to bring something to send to our service men and women abroad. We invite you to participate in the Any Soldier program.

    AnySoldier.com is the brainchild of a local Army Infantry Soldier with the 173rd Airborne Brigade stationed in Iraq. Sgt. Brian Horn started the idea of Any Soldier to help care for his soldiers. He agreed to distribute packages that came to him with "Attn: Any Soldier" in the address to the soldiers who were not getting mail. Due to overwhelming requests, the Any Soldier effort was expanded to include any member of any of the Armed Services in harm's way.

    Visit the AnySoldier.com site to see what our service men and women need while stationed abroad, and encourage your guests to bring these items to your celebration. At the party, you can provide patriotic stationery found at The Dandelion Patch for your guests to write encouraging words for the soldiers abroad. You pack and ship the items to your selected recipient and know you've brought joy and the comfort of home to a soldier stationed far away.

    Oh, and don't forget to raise a toast to those who proudly serve our nation!

    Recently, we were told by Cindy Hazel, the mother of one of our Dandelion Patch June brides, that it was the little details that helped her choose us as the stationer for her daugher Suzanne's wedding. "They knew just how to set the tone and style for the event, " said Cindy. Our personal service was a standout, she said, and it made all the difference.

    Wow. We're humbled by such kind praise.

    Tone. Style. Personal. Standout. We couldn't help but notice the qualities that appealed to Cindy are the same things that appeal to us in the gift items we're carrying this season. This elegant plate from Tassie's Plates can set the tone for your event, bring style to your table, and can be customized to serve your style with a simple ribbon. We love it, and we know you will too.

    While the personal service and expertise are critical for our brides-to-be, the committment to quality, service and style carries into everything we offer The Dandelion Patch customer.

    Thank you, Cindy, for noticing. We're proud to be a part of your family's celebration.

  • Vera Bradley Style at The Dandelion Patch
  • This summer we're pleased to offer you the Vera Bradley collection including file folders, bunders, notebooks and pencils in the designer's famous colorful, cheery color scheme

    Being organized has never looked to good! Come in and see it for yourself.
